    275 sits nice and pretty in a 4SP.

    Which Zues to get? I only need two, -6S, -6T, or -9S? I already have the -9S2(L) which has 2 Ballistic, 2 Energy, 3 Missle, 1 AMS, for what it's worth. I know its mostly preference and what you want to do with the mech, so i guess I'm just wondering what are people favorites out of the three, or which one of the three NOT to get for one reason or another. I know the -9S' energy range quirks are going to nerfed to 10% like all energy range quirks, but maybe they will buff one its other quirks to compensate? 5% nerf is only so much, so maybe it wont affect the 9S much?

    Never sell expensive XL Engines! You never know when they come handy. ^_^

    I was young and needed the money (for my EBJs while on sale).

    Me too... :(
    I didn't even think that XL 275 might be the max rating for some... Just thought it was just PGI tricking uninformed people into spending more c-bills...

    Always keep you XL engines! You never know when you might want to save those extra 3-5 million C-bills.
    Generally speaking, try not to sell anything, ever, unless you have like over 100 heatsinks or CASE.

    You can also sell some STD engines, but try to keep one of each at the very least. (presuming you have all your mechs with engines already).
    If you ever buy back what you've already sold, you're basically paying 150%

    100% bought once - 50% sold + 100% bought again. (sales mitigate this a bit, but still)

    Fortunately I don't own any mechs that have a 275 engine cap (YET), but a bit farther into the future I'm going to want to buy some Ravens... So I'll let future Ben worry about that problem! For now... **** the XL 275! ANARCHY WOOOOOOO

    Whenever there is a sale, then especially look for those Mechs which come with an XL Engine included, you can save alot of grinding time! Especially look for commonly used sizes, E.g. XL300

    Well there are some sale with XL255 also, though most are XL250 or XL275.
    TBT-3C have XL300.

    Engines aside the crabs are pretty good if you do not have them already.
